Hello, everyone.
I've been having problems with my EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC2 GPU. All of a sudden, about a week ago, my OS froze and I had no option but to restart it manually. Ever since, I was getting a BSOD with the message "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA", related to the process "nvlddmkm.sys" (which is an NVIDIA process) about 5 seconds after booting up Windows (from the login screen, still).
The only way I was able to get past this BSOD was by disabling the dedicated GPU and using my mobo's iGPU. So I did that, went into safe mode, used DDU to uninstall everything and reboot. Ever since I did that, the only way I can use my computer is by using the iGPU. If I connect the display to the GTX it will turn on, off, than on again and immediately show me this, which to me is a clear hint this GPU is either already dead or dying.
To troubleshoot this issue deeper I took a GTX 1050 Ti I had from my older computer and switched with the 1080 Ti. And now comes the interesting part: I connected the 1080 Ti to the other computer, checked compatibility with everything, got the same pattern displayed on the screen, went into safe mode to use DDU, restarted, booted up by using the iGPU and even BEFORE installing any NVIDIA drivers I started getting the same BSOD as before, which again hints that the problem is with the GPU itself and is not software-related (or related to any other hardware at all). The only curious part here is how is it having a problem with a process/task that supposedly is not even installed yet? Or is it?
Please, are there any tips on how to diagnose what specifically is the problem here? Is it fixable or should I go looking for a new GPU?
Specs:
Windows 10 Pro
ASUS Prime Z270K
Intel Core i7 7700K
2x32 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 CMK32GX4M1D3000C16
Thanks in advance.
